TLDR
The proposed modulation scheme can significantly improve end-to-end throughput for two-way relaying systems and is applicable to a relaying system using higher-level modulations of 16QAM in the MA stage.Abstract:
We investigate modulation schemes optimized for two-way wireless relaying systems, for which network coding is employed at the physical layer. We consider network coding based on denoise-and-forward (DNF) protocol, which consists of two stages: multiple access (MA) stage, where two terminals transmit simultaneously towards a relay, and broadcast (BC) stage, where the relay transmits towards the both terminals. We introduce a design principle of modulation and network coding, considering the superposed constellations during the MA stage. For the case of QPSK modulations at the MA stage, we show that QPSK constellations with an exclusive-or (XOR) network coding do not always offer the best transmission for the BC stage, and that there are several channel conditions in which unconventional 5-ary constellations lead to a better throughput performance. Through the use of sphere packing, we optimize the constellation for such an irregular network coding. We further discuss the design issue of the modulation in the case when the relay exploits diversity receptions such as multiple-antenna diversity and path diversity in frequency-selective fading. In addition, we apply our design strategy to a relaying system using higher-level modulations of 16QAM in the MA stage. Performance evaluations confirm that the proposed scheme can significantly improve end-to-end throughput for two-way relaying systems.read more

Power Adaptive Network Coding for a Non-Orthogonal Multiple-Access Relay Channel
TL;DR: Simulation results show that the SPER derived based on the CT method can well approximate the exact SPER with a much lower complexity, and the PANC scheme with power adaptation optimizations and power scaling factor design can achieve a full diversity, and obtain a much higher coding gain than other network coding schemes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general Gaussian-integer formulation for complex linear PNC in two-way relay channels was proposed, in which the complex plane of the complex PNC is divided into different Voronoi regions such that the vertices within each Voroni region share the same optimal PNC mapping.

Network information flow
TL;DR: This work reveals that it is in general not optimal to regard the information to be multicast as a "fluid" which can simply be routed or replicated, and by employing coding at the nodes, which the work refers to as network coding, bandwidth can in general be saved.

XORs in the air: practical wireless network coding
TL;DR: The results show that using COPE at the forwarding layer, without modifying routing and higher layers, increases network throughput, and the gains vary from a few percent to several folds depending on the traffic pattern, congestion level, and transport protocol.

Spectral efficient protocols for half-duplex fading relay channels
B. Rankov,Armin Wittneben +1 more
TL;DR: Two new half-duplex relaying protocols are proposed that avoid the pre-log factor one-half in corresponding capacity expressions and it is shown that both protocols recover a significant portion of the half- duplex loss.
